Serum extracellular vesicles 3’tRF-ThrCGTand 3’tRF-mtlleGAT combined with tumor markers can serve as minimally invasive diagnostic predictors for colorectal cancer

BackgroundColorectal cancer (CRC) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality, and timely diagnosis and intervention are crucial for cancer patients. Transfer RNA-derived fragments (tRFs) play a noncoding regulatory role in organisms. Serum EV(extracellular vesicles), as an integral mediator of in...

description BackgroundColorectal cancer (CRC) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality, and timely diagnosis and intervention are crucial for cancer patients. Transfer RNA-derived fragments (tRFs) play a noncoding regulatory role in organisms. Serum EV(extracellular vesicles), as an integral mediator of intercellular transmission of genetic information vesicles in Transfer RNA-derived fragment (tRF RNA), are expected to be minimally invasive diagnostic and predictive biologic factors of CRC.MethodsCollect serum samples from 205 CRC patients, and then isolate extracellular vesicles from the serum. Captured the physical morphology of EV through transmission electron microscopy. The particle size was detected by particle size assay, and protein expression on the surface of EV was verified by Western blot. Gene microarrays were screened for differentially expressed tRF-RNA. TRF RNAs were verified by qPCR for differential expression in 205 CRC patients and 201 healthy donors, assessing the CRC diagnostic efficiency by area under the curve (AUC).ResultsCompared with 201 healthy donors, CRC patients experienced significantly down-regulated serum EV 3’tRF-ThrCGT while significantly up-regulated 3’tRF-mtlleGAT. Serum EV 3’tRF-ThrCGT and 3’tRF-mtlleGAT predictive diagnostic efficiency: 0.669 and 0.656, and the combination of CEA and CA724 predictive diagnostic efficiency was 0.938.ConclusionThe study data showed that 3’tRF-ThrCGT and 3’tRF-mtlelGAT can be minimally invasive diagnostic CRC indicators. The combination of tumor markers CEA and CA724 has important diagnostic significance.
